17th Century Virgin of the Assumption Painting Oil on Canvas

About the Item

17th century Virgin of the Assumption Oil on canvas, 93 x 81 cm Frame, 110 x 97 cm The present Assumption of the Virgin welcomes an innovative part of the iconography typical of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, that is the halo made up of twelve stars. The a posteriori juxtaposition and traditional resonance of this attribute to the figure of the Immaculate Conception (in the texts, this crown appears only in chapter 12 of the Apocalypse and in reference to the woman girded with the sun that St. John admires in vision) the crown itself does not uniquely signify the incorruptible purity but, more generally, the eternal essence of the Madonna in human and divine time. The lack, in the present work, of the attributes that are indeed certainly characterizing The Immaculate Conception, such as the trampled serpent and the moon or globe trodden by Mary, The present painting is comparable to the lesson of the so-called seventeenth-century classicism of the central Italic area, even if a tactile iridescentism clears it of the stylistic and compositional constraints of this "current". It is impossible to ignore the figurative references to Guido Reni (Bologna, 1575 - ibid, 1642), really similar, or to the solid volumes of this pupil Giovanni Andrea Sirani (Bologna, 1610 - ibid, 1670). A reflection on the teaching of the great Emilian early-century painting leads, in the present Assumption, to the use of a perfectly modern artistic lexicon, in which the exceptional wonder that the work arouses overwhelms any scholastic model.

  • 17th Century Christ in Chains Painting Oil on Canvas
    Located in Milan, IT
    17th century Christ in chains Oil on canvas, 95 x 71 cm Frame 110 x 84 cm The figurative tradition representing Christ with chained hands can be traced back to the early Middle Ages, when an iconography of His pains spread widely. The need to translate the Passion into images aimed to raise awareness of the forgiveness that has occurred for all men, consequent to the Crucifixion. This painting depicts the moment before the audience before Pilate. Christ has not yet been cruelly mocked by the soldiers, despite the fact that he is already wearing the crown of thorns and the purple...

In the Eternal City Granet devoted himself to landscape painting, inspired by the landscape painting of Gaspard Dughet and Van Lint...
